FTP file in C code

[stevensteven]

How would I ftp a file from my c code using a

char *cmd;
int status = 0;

strcpy(cmd, "ftp ???????"
status = System(cmd);


Or is there any other way I could do this??


Thanks for any help,

Steven

Something like

char cmd[200];
char *site = "ftp.com";  // or your user input...
sprintf( cmd, "ftp %s", site );
system( cmd );

Whether you actually get the status of the ftp command itself back from calling system() is implementation-specific. It would work OK on Unix/Linux, but DOS/Win32 certainly doesn't work with some compilers.

libcurl handles this stuff quite nicely -

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/

There is a bit of a learning curve understanding the library,
but once you get past that, doing ftp, http, https, uploads,
downloads, cookies, authentication, etc, etc, etc...
- is relatively easy.
